I can’t get this quote out of my head:
“This is the second time in eight months that we’ve gone through tragedy,” Rep. Randy Weber, the area’s Republican congressman, said at a news conference, noting Hurricane Harvey’s assault on the area last summer.
I would let my house be flooded 10 more times if it would bring back these ten murdered students and teachers. I know that people lost loved ones in the floods, and my heart aches for them. But a hurricane didn’t “assault” us. It dumped trillions of gallons of water on us.
Not comparable to human slaughter caused by a teenager with guns.

I wish this would end, but I don’t believe it ever will.
Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a nightmare.
